The following safety recalls have been issued by NHTSA for the Audi Tt. If you own this vehicle, check your VIN at our VIN lookup tool or NHTSA.gov to see if your vehicle is affected.
VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 AND 2010 PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2008 AND AUGUST 2009. THE WIRING HARNESS OF A TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE DIRECT SHIFT GEARBOX (DSG) MAY HAVE CONNECTOR WIRES THAT WERE INSUFFICIENTLY CRIMPED. WITH INSUFFICIENTLY CRIMPED CONNECTOR WIRES, A TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FALSELY DETECT A HIGH GEARBOX OIL TEMPERATURE, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO ABRUPTLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SELECTOR LEVER POSITION INDICATOR WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL FLASH. IN ADDITION, THE "DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL" INDICATOR LIGHT WILL BE ILLUMINATED, ALERTING THE DRIVER TO APPLY THE BRAKES.
Risk: THE ABRUPT SHIFT TO NEUTRAL COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
Fix: VOLKSWAGEN WILL REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WITH UPDATED SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 20, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLKSWAGEN AT 1-800-822-8987.
VOLKSWAGEN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2010 AUDI A3, TT, AND TT ROADSTER PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 AND AUGUST 26, 2009. THE CLOSING FORCE OF AN INTERNAL SPRING OF THE FUEL TANK VENTILATION VALVE IS NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO HOLD THE VALVE CLOSED UNDER EXTREME DRIVING CONDITIONS POSSIBLY ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK.
Risk: IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A VEHICLE FIRE COULD OCCUR.
Fix: VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND AUDI DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK VENTILATION VALVE WITH AN IMPROVED VALVE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 16, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AUDI AT 1-800-253-2834.

HAD ISSUES WITH THE REAR TAILLIGHTS GROUNDING ISSUE CAUSING THE GROUND IN THE CONNECTOR TO MELT AND SHORT OUT CAUSING THE TAILLIGHT TO NO LONGER WORK. THIS WAS AN ISSUE FIRST ON THE DRIVER SIDE THEN THE OTHER 6 MONTHS LATER. BOTH REPAIRED LOCALLY BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL GROUND WIRE AND REPLACING THE CONNECTORS.
I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, MOST RECENTLY WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE FROM DRIVE, THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING AND IT LOST ALL POWER AS IF IT WERE DISENGAGED OR IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DEALER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR…
CLUNK AND NOISE FROM DSG TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATE FROM STOP IN D POSITION OR FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR FOR SLOWING DOWN. I THINK IT IS MECHATRONIC ISSUES FOR THOSE YEAR VW AUDI DSGS. IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY BUT STILL CAN BE COVERED BY RECALL?
